PLINKO
Sunday, June 6
created and performed by Jonah Angeles
Plinko is an experimental spoken word poem that aims to challenge our linguistic notions of infinity, artificial intelligence, Dubstep songs, turtles, and vacuum cleaners, among other things.
It is a playfully meandering and discursive poetic exploration of where humanity is headed, the purpose of our existence, and the ultimate meaning of life.
featuring Jeffrey Paul Kelly, August Auseil, and Jonah Angeles

La Sangre Llama
Thursday, June 10
curated by Lady Vanessa Cardona
“La Sangre Llama” is a collection of poems and stories about my relationship to my blood. La sangre llama can be directly translated as ‘the blood calls’; however, I do not believe that this gives the title full credit for all that it encompasses. A saying, a way of life, and a calling. La sangre Llama in a remembering journey into the self. Re-calling DNA, unashamedly, proudly confronting and embracing all my ancestors and lineage, and the reasons my blood has brought me here today. The memory in our veins is powerful and some memories are meant to be kept private, some memories are meant to be told. A hope, a prophecy, an old wives’ tale, an oral story asking to be remembered. Here we dive into the trans-parent world of becoming.
